Well, I've lost much of the power I once had... but someday I will be the most powerful Admin ever.

Incidentally, what is the difference between Suspended and Banned?

Well, while being suspended I could still view all of the boards, post and edit my posts, and even edit my profile... If I were banned (and yes, I've even been banned from here, once), I wouldn't be able to log-in at all, I believe.

Brad soiled himself... It's happened before and we're sick of it so his suspension was warranted. The smell in our secret club house was over-powering really.

Incidentally, what is the difference between Suspended and Banned?

Suspended means we are tolerating someone because we like them enough to keep them around and want them around on some level... I guess. Banned means you don't know when to STFU even after we've been more than cordial and fair with you, and we just roll your ass out the door. There's some guys out there who make it their hobby to get banned at websites. Our own banned list is a bit of a "who's who" when you look at it.

In short, the only real difference is the staff's judgment/conclusions we come to after we talk about the "situation" for a while. Banned really takes a certain level of behavior that we just aren't left with other options. What can we say, other than "we care" about this place.
